Once the Financial Aid office has processed your aid application, you may view your financial aid award in two ways.

Initial Award Letter

First, you may refer to your initial award letter. Your initial award letter lists your grants, scholarships, and estimated loan eligibility in one comprehensive document. Initial award letters are mailed as soon as your initial financial aid offer is made. If your FAFSA was submitted before April 1st, you should receive your award letter in the mail in early April. Otherwise, you should receive your letter about two weeks after your submission date. If you have discarded or misplaced your initial letter, you may request a new one by contacting the Financial Aid Office.

• Under the Finances section click "Accept/Decline Awards", and select the 2011-2012 Aid Year

If your awards change over the course of the year, you will receive an email informing you that a change has been made. If this occurs, the changes will be visible in the myUCCS Student Portal.
